This concluding volume of the nightshade series provides an overview of all genera of the nightshade family: from A for Atropa to W for Witheringia, journalist and author Markus Berger shows the diversity of this large plant family, which includes both native and exotic species. Most popular are the edible (including potato, tomato, bell pepper and eggplant) and the nightshade plants (including mandrake, belladonna and datura), which are considered magic plants, as well as the petunia, which is popular as a home and garden plant. The exotic plants that thrive in foreign cultures, such as the wizard's tree, the bell bush and the Don Juan plant, on the other hand, are at best known as tub and pot plants in our regions. With this small encyclopedia exactly this gap is to be closed. So are in this volume not only the known, but also.
